  • a traditional electronic cigarette has the atomizer of which being plug connected with the base, or spirally connected with the base, in which the atomizer is prone to be separated from the base, and would be eaten by mistake by children.
  • the atomizer is also prone to be separated from the base by a misoperation of children.
  • an electronic cigarette includes a base defining a receiving space, and an atomizer connected with the base, the electronic cigarette further includes a power supply, located in the base, the power supply is configured to power the electronic cigarette; a locking device, located between the atomizer and the base, the locking device is configured to lock the atomizer and the base; a control device, located in the base and connected with the locking device and the locking device, the control device is configured to drive the electronic cigarette to start, and drive the locking device to unlock the atomizer and the base; and an information collecting device, located in the base and connected with the control device, the information collecting device is configured to collect a verification signal and then output the verification signal to the control device; the control device drives the electronic cigarette to start and drives the locking device to unlock the atomizer and the base based on the verification signal collected by the information collecting device.
  • the present disclosure also provides a method for unlocking the electronic cigarette, the method includes the following steps:
  • the electronic cigarette 100 includes a base 1 defining a receiving space, an atomizer 2, a power supply 3, a control device 4, an information collecting device 5, and a locking device 6.
  • the base 1 defines 1 a receiving space which is configured to mount the power supply 3, the control device 4, and the information collecting device 5, etc.
  • the atomizer 2 is connected with the base 1 through a plug connecting mode, or a spiral connection mode.
  • the power supply 3 is mounted in the receiving space of the base 1, the power supply 3 is configured to power the electronic cigarette 100, as such the electronic cigarette 100 can start to work.
  • the power supply 3 can supply power to the atomizer 2, and the control device 3, etc.
  • the control device 4 and the information control device 5 are both mounted in the receiving space of the base 1.
  • the information collecting device 5 is connected with the control device 4, the information collecting device 5 is configured to collect a verification signal then output the verification signal to the control device 4, the information collecting device 5 can be electronically connected with the control device 4, or can be communicated with the control device 4.
  • the information collecting device 5 is a pressure detection unit, a capacitance detection unit, a photoelectric detection unit, a sound collection unit, a biometric information collection unit or an image recognition unit.
  • the information collecting device includes at least two selected from a group consisting of a pressure detection unit, a capacitance detection unit, a photoelectric detection unit, a sound collection unit, a biometric information collection unit, and an image recognition unit, that is the at least two selected from the group can be combined with each other to form a coded lock.
  • the coded lock can also be self-defined, and can be adjusted according to the requirement.
  • the locking device 6 is located between the atomizer 2 and the base 1, the locking device 6 is configured to lock the atomizer 2 with the base 1.
  • the control device 4 is electronically connected with the power supply 3 and the locking device 6, or can communicate with the power supply 3 and the locking device 6.
  • the control device 4 is configured to drive the electronic cigarette 100 to start and drive the locking device 6 to unlock the atomizer 2 and the base 1.
  • the unlock mode of the locking device 6 can be custom unlock password, user can enters the custom unlock password to unlock, and user can also self-define the unlock password.
  • the present disclosure is not limited to this, other feasible unlock methods shall all fall in the scope of the application.
  • the electronic cigarette 100 of the present disclosure can make the atomizer 2 to be separated from the base 1 and can start the electronic cigarette 100 through the correct verification signal, which can effectively avoid a misoperation of pulling the atomizer 2 from the base 1 to ensure the electronic cigarette 100 can be used normally, and can also avoid the children eating due to the misoperation, therefore greatly improving the reliability and security of the electronic cigarette 100.
  • the locking device 6 includes a first locking member 61 located at the base 1, a second locking member 62 located at the atomizer 2 and configured to lock together with the first locking member 61, a drive device 63 configure to drive the first locking member 61 to move until separating from the second locking member 62 (that is unlocking), and a reset device 64 connected with the first locking member 61 and configured to drive the first locking member 61 to reset (that is the first locking member 61 locks with the second locking member 62 again).
  • the drive device 63 is an electromagnet, which is sleeved on the first locking member 61. While the first locking member 61 is made of a material which physically interacts with the drive device 63, or at least a part of the first locking member 61 physically interacts with the drive device 63.
  • the physically interaction in the exemplary embodiment refers to that the first locking member 61 can attract or repel the drive device 63. Therefore, the first locking member 61 is made of a magnetic material, or at least a part of the first locking member 61 is made of a magnetic material. Of course, the first locking member 61 and the drive device 63 cooperatively form an electromagnetic drive structure, which can be manually or automatically controlled.
  • the reset device 64 is elastic medium. Such as, the elastic medium can be, but not limited to, a spring, a shrapnel, a silicone member, or a plastic member, etc.
  • a portion of the base 1 connected with the first locking member 61 defines a slide rail 7 and a limiting structure 8.
  • the slide rail 7 is configured to support the first locking member 61, as such the first locking member 61 can move on the slide rail 7, therefore improving the reliability and sensitivity of the first locking member 61.
  • the limiting structure 8 is fixed at one end of the first locking member 61 adjacent to the second locking member 62, the limiting structure 8 is configured to limit the reset position of the first locking member 61, to prevent the first locking member 61 from knocking the second locking member 62 during the moving processing of the first locking member 61, or the locking device 6 may be out of operation.
  • the atomizer 2 when the atomizer 2 is separated from the base 1 under the control of the control device 4, the atomizer 2 should be locked with the base 1 again, therefore, after separating the atomizer 2 from the base 1 by the locking device 6, and then after a preset number of seconds, the first locking member 61 would active to lock the atomizer 2 with the base 1 under an action of the reset device 64.
  • the present disclosure also provides a method for unlocking the electronic cigarette, which includes the following steps:
  • the base of the electronic cigarette of the present disclosure is internally provided with the power supply, the control device, the information collecting device, and the locking defined between the atomizer and the base, as such the information collecting device is electronically connected with the control device, the information collecting device collects the verification signal and then transmits the verification signal to the control device, therefore, the control device drives the power supply to work and drive the locking device to unlock.
  • the above structures can enable the locking device of the electronic cigarette need to verify the information of the operator through the information collecting device before perform the unlock operation, which can effectively avoid a misoperation of pulling the atomizer from the base to ensure the electronic cigarette can be used normally, and can also avoid the children eating due to the misoperation, therefore greatly improving the reliability and security of the electronic cigarette.
